British trio banned for quarter-finals

Ross Ford, Jonny Gray and Sean O'Brien have all been banned resulting in them missing their country's World Cup Quarter Finals clashes.

Irish Back Row, Sean O'Brien, has been banned for one week following his punch on French Second Row Pascal Pape. The punch was spotted initially by pundit and former England Back Row Lawrence Dallaglio.

Pape went down injured after the strike and needed medical attention, but he recovered to continue playing in the match. The incident went unnoticed by the Referee but was caught by the citing officer and has led to O'Brien's ban.
